I use C-Dex to rip music from regular music cds.
Got it from http://www.Zdnet.com and it's free.
Will let you select if you want the music to be wav or mp3 format.
A handy little freebie.
Good Luck.

Is there any software (preferably free!) that would enable me to rip 'copy protected' CD's? I use Nero 5.5 for burning CD-R's on my Lite-on CD writer.

I want to be able to rip CD's in wav format (not MP3's). Please help...

Ripping "copy protected" audio cd's is hardware dependent m8. Use your Litey to extract and if you can't, then you can't defeat that that audio cd protection. If you can extract, you can defeat, if you can't, your SOL m8. Plexy and later model Litey drives are good for defeating most audio cd protections. I use EAC (Exact Audio Copy)

long time no see Shoey. yea see someone else agrees with me rhat EAC can defeats cd audio protections. AudioGrabber 1.8x should be able to do it too, but as Shoey mentioned, hardware affects the ability to extract / rip the cd.

You got that right m8. Any program that can rip a audio cd can get the job done as long as you have the "right hardware" to defeat the audio cd protection (Key2Audio, Cactus Data Shield, many others).Many audio "geeks" like Plexy drives...
